Gravity and the Solar System

What is gravity?

The force that attracts one object to another.

Science, Please!

Everything that has mass has gravity.

The Earth is pulling

everything towards its

center.

What is gravity?

This means everything in the universe has gravity.

What is gravity?

Gravity keeps the Solar System together.

No gravity means no Solar System.

The smaller the object, the less the mass.

What is gravity?

The less the mass the object has, the weaker the gravity.

The larger the object, the more the mass.

What is gravity?

The more mass the object has, the stronger the gravity.

The less massive the object, the less you would

weigh.

What is gravity?

The more massive the object, the more you

would weigh.

If you weighed 100 pounds on Earth, you

would weigh 240 pounds on Jupiter.(100 x 2.4)

What is gravity?

If you weighed 100 pounds on Earth, you

would weigh 16 pounds on the Moon.(100 x .16)

What is gravity?

The closer to the Sun, the faster the object travels.

What is gravity?

The farther from the Sun, the slower the object

travels.

Mercury, the planet closest to the Sun, takes 88 Earth days to revolve once around the Sun.

What is gravity?

Neptune, the planet farthest from the Sun, takes 165 years

to revolve once around the Sun.
